Public bug reported:
1. Release of Ubuntu | lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Release: 20.04
================================================================
2. Version of Package | apt-cache policy nvidia-settings

================================================================
3/4. Expected and Desired results
I expect my colour settings to be preserved and loaded between reboots/logins.
While they are saved, they are not automatically loaded. Have to run
nvidia-settings manually after login to load them.
================================================================
My own comments:
I run Ubuntu 20.04, with the latest updates as of today. Clean install.
I have changed some settings in nvidia-settings (the gui panel - see
image) and changed the color settings, so that the brightness and
contrast is lower on all channels. These settings are saved to a nvidia-
settings-rc file in my home directory.
I noticed that there already is a startup script running this
(/etc/xdg/autostart/nvidia-settings-autostart.desktop), buuuuuut it does
NOT apply these settings upon login after gdm(3).
To fix it I changed a line from:
Exec=sh -c '/usr/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only'
To:
Exec=sh -c 'sleep 1 && /usr/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only'
Now my settings are applied upon logging in (albeit after 1 second).
I have tried other solutions suggested in forums such as running
"nvidia-settings --load-config-only" in xinitrc and Xsession, as well as
gdm3/PostLogin. They did not work, and I think that there simply needs
to be some sleep/timeout time before loading the settings. Why? I don't
know.
